I tick the Export with Mtext box – after making sure that my layer is labelled with the attribute that I want.

Have you checked whether changing the output scale helps here? There's
probably label collisions preventing the other parcels being labelled.
Alternatively you could set "show all labels" for the parcel layer to
force all labels to be shown, even if they overlap.

That's likely because you're using the mtext option. Try unchecking
that setting.
